A collaborative thinker

Hello, This is Jiwon!

I’m a Product Designer with PM and UX experience, connecting users’ hidden needs to business outcomes. I get excited when people genuinely enjoy and benefit from my designs — it's what gives my work a sense of purpose. My hope is to design products that leave a lasting, positive impact on people's lives. To push that further, I'm deepening my HCI expertise at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

    “Jiwon stands out as one of the brightest, most dedicated co-workers I have ever met for 10 years of work experiences. During our time together for the intensive UX project, she quickly understood the essence of the problem, redefined the problem and presented it in her own way.
